Prominent anti-Syrian Lebanese editor killed in explosion

A CAR bomb yesterday killed journalist and MP Gibran Tueni, the latest in a string of assassinations of anti-Syrian figures in Lebanon.

A previously unknown group claimed responsibility for the blast, but many quickly accused Damascus in the slaying.

Syria denied being behind the blast, which came the day the UN Security Council received a UN inquiry’s report into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
